Habiba Atta has been elected to represent women’s football on the Executive Council of the Ghana Football Association (GFA).

The founder of Kumasi based Fabulous Ladies FC won the seat by a close margin as she beat off competition from Evelyn Nsiah Otchere by just a single vote.

Out of the 16 delegates that voted, Habiba had 8 votes, followed by Evelyn Nsiah 7 votes, Rosalind Amoah with 1 vote and Edna had none.

Habiba Atta

Madam Habiba Atta, known in the football sector as the mother of Women’s football in the country. Habiba remains the key player in the inauguration of Women’s football in the country. She owns one of the oldest and most successful women’s football club in the country, Fabulous Ladies which has produced many players for all the female national teams in the country.
 
 The Kumasi-based female football guru is an architect of professional women football in Ghana.
 
She is the brain behind competitive women soccer in Ghana and a former management member of Asante Kotoko.
 
She has not only been in women football as she is on record to have coached some of the current top male coaches in the country now including former Kotoko defender and coach – Frimpong Manso – during his senior high school days to become a great player in Ghana from Neoplan stars to Cornerstone to Asante Kotoko and Black Stars.
 
Ghana does not only owe her for her magnificent output in the game but Madam Habiba Atta also introduced the name ‘Black Queens’ for the senior women national football team in 1989.
 
In her youthful age,she was the Queen of track and field .Her enviable record in sports dates back from her school days at T.I. Ahmadiyya Senior High School,where she set several records as an athlete.She participated in almost all the athletics disciplines-runner, high jumper, triple jumper, javelin,discus and shot put.
 
 
The veteran football administrator has her name in the records books of all African games in the 1960s.  She was nicknamed ‘One woman Contingent’ when Ghana went for Athletics tournaments.
 
Her history in sports is a clear definition of sports in her DNA and her achievement with Fabulous Ladies is enough to make her a better representative for women on the Ghana FA Executive Council.
